Chapter 5

Alder's POV

"She is already my mate. What else can I do? No matter how much I wanted to stay with Clover, I just couldn't because she lost her title to Monique," the stupid alpha said. I talked to him and his new mate with his father and mother, as Lance was always with me.

I will let them go for now, as today is Luna's ceremony, and I can't wait to tell Clover she's mine. I was preparing myself in the villa, and Lance was as excited as me.

For six days, I tried my hardest to stop myself from coming or looking for her. My Lycan was furious because of that, but I managed to calm him down as I promised to go and bring her with us in time.

Lance teased, "Let's go get her highness immediately, Your Highness," which I found amusing. I wonder how Charles would react when we came back with my queen.

"Let's go and be ready."

"I was born, ready. It was, in fact, my surname." I shared a chuckle with him as we made our way to the training ground for the ceremony.

John decided to do it there, so Annie did all the decorations as she led the omegas. We arrived a little early so they wouldn't think that, just because I am royal, I had the right to be late.

"Lance," I called him as the ceremony was almost over.

"She's here now?" he asked, and I nodded. I could smell her, and I tried to find her but failed.

Then, we heard a clap right after the ceremony ended. My mate appears, striding forward with confidence, dressed in a long, flowy, violet tube dress with a slit that extends nearly to her hips on both legs. Is that even a slit? Is she even wearing her panties?

"What is going on, Clover?" John asked, but I could sense that he was worried.

"Clover, my princess. I thought you were not going to attend." Her dad asked. In the past few days, I have tried everything I could to find out everything about her, especially her family.

"I changed my mind," she replied, and her voice was fucking good and sounded so good. "Why? Am I not allowed to attend either?"

"Of course not!" her dad replied. He might be worried that she might hurt herself by seeing the ceremony that was supposed to be hers.

"Why are you here, Clover? What did I tell you to do?" The stupid alpha asked as if warning her, and I couldn't help but growl, which made them look at me."

"Clover, I defeated you when I challenged you for the title; why can't you just accept it?" Monique asked, looking sad and hurt.

"I don't care about the title. I don't care if this woman loses to you. What I care about is the fact that both of you assholes did everything to make this woman lose and die." Clover yelled. The crowd whispered about what she was talking about.

"Clover, as much as I wanted you to be the pack's Luna over Monique, the fact that you lose fair and square will only cause you trouble in the future. So please, stop now, dear," Annie said, and my mate laughed. Her parents, who had been observing her, approached her. I guess they were on her side.

"Fair and square? Did you think she won fair and square?" She asked angrily.

"Vlad was very worried and hurt when Monique challenged you. He was ignorant about the challenge, so he couldn't think of anything to prevent that from happening," Annie replied.

"He was never hurt or worried about me; he was happy. He hurt me by banging that snake of a bitch for a week before our fight. I was in pain and asked your bastard of alpha to delay the fight until I felt A LITTLE OKAY. You heard that, A LITTLE OKAY was not OKAY, but he refused. Do you know what he did while I was in a coma? He rejected me!"

"You shut the hell up! I am your alpha, so you better submit to me, and I am telling you to leave this instant, bitch." Stupid, Vlad said, which made me lose control.

"How dare you disrespect and call my mate a bitch?" I asked angrily. Now, everyone was in chaos. The stupid alpha's eyes widened, as did those of Monique, John, Annie, and even her parents.

"Who the hell is your mate, and what the fuck does your mate have anything to do with us? And who the hell are you?" Clover asked continuously, which made everyone gasp while her parents tried to stop her. But I don't mind her use of words at all. So I approached her, but every time I got closer to her, I saw on her face that she started to get confused.

Then she sniffed. She could smell me now, which made me and my Lycan smile internally. "What's that smell?" she asked, looking at her parents, who were on both sides of her.

"What smell?" her mother asked and then looked at me.

"Like sandalwood and morning dew? It smells so good." She replied precisely when I was standing before her. She's very small. "It's you; what's your perfume brand? I will buy it for my dad; it's good," she said, and I wanted to laugh.

"He doesn't smell like sandalwood and morning dew, princess," her dad said.

"It's him," she replied, and she even sniffed at me to make sure. Her scent was so intense now that we were standing before each other, so I held her, but she was shocked and jerked.

"What's that? Do you have some kind of electric current power?" She asked while looking into my eyes.

"That, my love, is what you call the mate bond," I told her, and her eyes widened.

"No way. Just how many mates does a wolf have? No, I'm not interested in another mate or boyfriend, regardless of the term. I am done with cheating men, and I am not going to let myself get fooled again," she said as she moved away from me, and that hurt like shit.

"I think we need to talk," I told her.

"No way! With the electric current feeling you gave me, I don't think that's a good idea," she replied, and I got a feeling that she was going to stand firm on that. Therefore, I needed to do what I had to do.

"Lance,"

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"Take care of things here."

"No problem, take your time," he replied, so I carried Clover like a sack of rice on my shoulder. Goddess, she's petite.

"You asshole put me down!" She screamed as she continued hitting me on my back. I can feel some of her hits, and she's fucking strong.

"You better stop now!" I warned her.

"No way! You put me down now!" She replied.

I slapped her on her butt and goddess, it was so plump. Her scent was making my Lycan go crazy, so I had to calm them both.

"How dare you slap me!" She shouted again, and I didn't think she would stop soon, so I followed the urge lurking in my mind.

I slid the slit of her dress a little, and her thigh was exposed, and fuck! She's not wearing panties. I growled before I gave her thigh a bite. She doesn't realize how much I want to fuck her right now.

"Oh shit! Fuck! What did you do that for?" She shouted again, and the faint scent of her arousal that I smelled earlier became stronger, so I smiled at the thought that she was as uneasy as me. At least, I am sure that the bond is in effect.

We were almost at the villa, and she still did not stop struggling. Just how much energy does she have? Then I felt her hands on my back going up as though she were taking support from there, and I was right; she was now in an almost standing position, trying to get out of my hold.

I loosened my grip on her and let her slide down a bit until I held her at her waist. Then, I spread her legs and held her there, sure that she wouldn't move or fall backward with her head first. Although I am not going to let that happen,

"You have to put me down now!" She shouted again, her eyes going round so much that they almost wanted to pop out. She continued to struggle, feeling her precious gem rubbing against my stomach, and the clothes separating us didn't provide any relief.

Before I got annoyed with her, I decided to shut her up. I kissed her and teleported us to my bedroom. I continued kissing her even if she was struggling non-stop. I saw her eyes widen when she realized we were already in a room. Her mouth was slightly open, so I took that chance and plunged my tongue inside.

I had her pinned to the door while I sucked her tongue; she's a delicious goddess. I felt her kissing me back now, so I continued what I was doing. I let my hand travel from her body down to her thigh and rubbed it. I was so hard, so I let her feel that as I pressed myself against her even more, and fuck, she moaned in my mouth.

I carried her to my bed and had her lie down with me on top. We were still kissing, but just a little later, my lips left hers, and I went to kiss her from her face down to her neck. She tilted her head, so I kissed and sucked her skin after I smelled her. That is where I am going to put my mark on her when she's ready.

My lips moved south, and now they were on her chest. I wanted to feel her tiny bump, so I tore off her dress. "What?" she said, but I didn't mind her and did what my tongue wanted to do. "Ohhh..." She moaned again. One of her hard buds was in my mouth, allowing my tongue to play as much as it wanted, while my fingers repeatedly and alternately played with the other.

"Fuck, what is this feeling?" She asked with a bit of quivering. She has no bra, no panties, and she's naked in my eyes. I let my other hand, which was doing nothing, start roaming around her body and reach its destination in the south.

"Oh, fuck!" she murmured as she grabbed my hair, pulling my head closer, never wanting me to stop and wanting me to do more with her hardened nips as she spread her legs when she felt my finger on her clit. She's damn wet, and it was because of me. I inserted a finger into her core, but I sensed her stiffness and realized that she was still tight. Fuck, this is new to her.

"Oh, I want you so much, love," I said after my mouth left her bud. She looked at me and, as if realizing something, got up, her upper body supported by her elbows on the bed.

"What did you just call me?" she asked, creasing her forehead.

"Love," I answered, and that's it. The spell between us vanished.

"I am not your fucking love," she said, getting away from me. That is excruciatingly painful, and I have no idea what I will do to her. She's tough, and I hope that the moon goddess helps me make her mine completely.
